"I think I'm going to start keeping a record of the number of messages I send out and the number of replies I get! This could lead on to testing all sorts of experimental variables, eg message type (a full message or a "fancy a fuck?" one), distance from person listing, etc. There's an MSc thesis in this, I think! At the moment I think I'm running at about 100 messages sent for each reply!" Be prepared for even more disappointing results than you've already had.... | |||

"Every 100 messages? 20 a week? How can you find some many people you'd like to message? I think I've probably only sent around 10 to non forum users in the last year and well over half replied positively." I mentioned similar on another thread recently. Some people seem to message anyone and everyone in the hope of a reply and wonder why it doesn't work. When I was meeting on here someone once said that my profile would put 90% of people off but that the other 10% would be really keen on meeting me, that was never deliberate but it certainly paid dividends. I messaged nowhere near that amount of profiles some people do but targetting people that match what you want works | |||

"Reading between the lines here a lot of guys seem to try the scatter gun approach which is why the ratio is so low, also reading between the lines there is prbably a lot of copy/paste emails which I am sure people can see.. Surely its better to read the persons profile that you intend to message and make a personal reply to that person. I know guys will say they do, and as a guy I would also like to say that it would be nice from the people receiving these hundreds of mails daily, that if not interested just a quick note saying "sorry not interested" would be gratefully rec'd. just my two penneth.. " It's not at all clear from what you've written whether you do read the profiles before messaging or that you're just saying you do.. As for no replies..you should know well by now that no reply = no thanks...come on! | |||

"Hmmmm I get a reply every time. I don't have a problem with replying to messages either, even if it's a no. Why leave people dangling? if you don't tell them then they're unsure if you are interested or not. Just bloody reply and everyone knows what the deal is. It's not that bloody taxing really." Clearly you've not read the many many posts on here where woman point out just how many messages they get to which it would take many hours to reply. I've seen this when I was in a couple on here a while ago and it is unbelievable.. | |||

"When I joined the site I proactively messaged far more profiles, the response I'd guess was maybe 20%.. I rarely message proactively these days, when I do I'd guess about 1/2 reply. " So let's get this straight....the response rate to your messages has more than doubled since you started...? Really? | |||

"I reckon for every 20 messages I might send out over a week or two, I'll get 1 reply. Maybe 2. Usually nothing tbh. Thing is I'm not pushy, not rude, not demanding, jut a general intro, and I still get blanked haha. " About the same here. | |||

"So let's get this straight....the response rate to your messages has more than doubled since you started...? Really?" I would say mine has easily. I don't think it's too difficult to get to grips with things. | |||

I send very few messages to new contacts now.. if it's one a month I'd be surprised, when I joined it was a muchless targeted approach.. hence the lower response .. | |||

I hadn't appreciated you were sending so few now, as indeed am I with a similar jump in proportionate response rate | |||
